According to Jamz, at 14:05 on 30 Jun 99, the word on
the street was...

All dual-nature critters that have natural armor also get it on the
astral. Dragons, certainly, but also insect spirits or any other creature
with natural armor. Armor that comes from Immunity to Normal Weapons power
would not work on the astral plane. Well, it might work (who knows?), but
they'll never get attacked with a normal weapon from the astral plane, so
it's easiest to say it doesn't work there.

Spells are never affected by armor, so even mana spells cast at them from
the astral plane would not be affected by it.
